Designing your outfit                                                        

The Glove Gown Collection provides you with the freedom to design your own Bridal Gown. Choose from the bodices and skirts shown, and order in any combination. Usually outfits are made as separates, but the VENICE and BELLA  combination can also be made as a dress. There are some stunning accessories to choose from, or you could design your own. For inspiration, please visit the Glove Gown gallery.

.

Fabric and Colours

Your outfit can be made in any fabric and any colour. Prices shown include fabric from our range of over 200 shades, for which swatches are available.  If you would prefer,  feel free to provide your own fabric and we will adjust the price of the outfit accordingly. Please call or email to request fabric swatches, or come to see the full range in person.

Ordering your outfit (Sizes, Fittings and Alterations)

Usually a bride would come to the studio in Witley to try on samples of the styles shown in the brochure, look at fabrics and be measured to determine which is the correct size and length to order.  You're welcome to bring any friends or family with you, and you'll find a warm welcome in a relaxed environment.

Following this appointment, Caroline would post you a free design sketch of your chosen style, with fabric swatches and a quote for making your Gown. If you would like to go ahead, you would be asked to return the booking form with your payment, and you would then be called to arrange a fitting and completion date.

Gowns are made in the standard size relevant to your measurements, and are available in sizes 8 - 28, in your desired length. Once completed, your outfit can then be altered to fit if necessary, the cost for which is not included in the garment price, as it is dependent on the requirements of each individual. Caroline is able to fit and carry out these adjustments, or if it is easier, you could have these completed by a dressmaker locally to you.

Caroline specialises in making and altering Couture Bridal Gowns. If you would like to find out more about having a Bridal Gown of entirely your own design, made to your exact measurements, please see the website for more details, and contact Caroline to chat further. Another option, is to choose one garment, for example a skirt, from the Glove Gown Collection, and to have maybe the bodice made to measure to your own design.

Quality & Returns

All Bridal garments have silk lining and Bridal interlining, to ensure they hold their shape correctly and are beautifully comfortable to wear. Bridal bodices are boned in every seam, with additional boning over the bust, for added support and enhanced fit.

As the Glove Gown Collection requires that each garment is unique to the person for whom it is made, we are unable to re-sell unwanted garments, so cannot refund unless the garment is faulty. However if you cancel your booking before we have ordered your fabric, then we will refund your payment, less a 20% admin fee. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Timescales

To make a Glove Gown outfit, we need a comfortable minimum of 4 months. If you are interested in having a Gown made to measure to your own design,  Caroline would need between 6 and 9 months notice to accept a booking, depending on the time of year.
